Amazon hiring spree?

Mar 7 14 Comments

I updated "open to hire" on Linkedin last week, I already have messages from 4 HM and 3 recruiters from Amazon.
Can any one shed light on why so many HM are directly contacting potential candidates?
I know attrition is high at Amazon, still I don't understand why HM have to do this.

    HMs own their hiring. If they sit and wait for recruiting to fill their roles they will never get filled. Good managers know this and take matters into their own hands to find good talent.

      You will hear negative comments. 20 percent of amazon sde workforce is a lot of people.
      I think pip is not implemented till org hits certain number or if it is growing. I think if you join a new org or an org growing rapidly you might be safe from pip quota and culture for some time but only tenured amzn employees can tell you

      Pip quota works itself out naturally. The target is 6% of the org is forced out each year. That’s not a very high number. All directors have this goal to meet but individual managers don’t. What happens is if enough managers are not doing this, director makes the call at review time and picks a set of people who are to be fucked. This is what happens mostly since most managers don’t want to fire anyone each year.

      If you want to join amazon I suggest finding a team with a low ish ops load, so either a team building something new to launch or something like that. Ambiguity will be high since it’s greenfield but you can focus on building and not on sev 2 tickets.
